How to treat high thyroid hormone

High thyroid hormone should be treated by differentiating the specific cause, which may be due to primary hyperthyroidism, subacute thyroiditis, oral contraceptive pills, and heavy use of thyroxine. The main treatment modalities are surgery, medication, iodine 131 treatment and symptomatic treatment. 1. Primary hyperthyroidism: mainly due to autoimmune abnormalities, anti-thyroid drugs (such as methimazole, propylthiouracil, etc.) are preferred, and iodine 131 treatment or surgery can also be used. 2. Subacute thyroiditis: a self-limiting disease, generally symptomatic treatment that reduces pain can be used, mainly with aspirin, ibuprofen, indomethacin, etc., if it is a severe thyroiditis, glucocorticosteroids, such as prednisone can be used. 3. Oral contraceptives and large amounts of thyroxine: you can reduce or stop taking contraceptives and thyroxine under the guidance of your doctor. When high thyroid hormone occurs, you should go to a regular hospital in time and be treated under the guidance of a doctor.
